Ryan Braun was exonerated and will not be suspended for the first part of the 2012 MLB season. Very few details are known at this point, but it sounds like the positive test sample may have been mishandled. Anyway, as we wait for more information to see the light of day, one thing is certain.

Christopher is a budding sabermetrician and long-time supporter of Tokyo's more lovable team, the Swallows. He has publicly volunteered, several times, that he plans to buy the team at some point in the future. When he finally runs the joint, it is likely that he will fine any player who swings at the first pitch or sac bunts (unless it's a pitcher, of course). Follow him on Twitter: @chrispellegrini
